English, l0,743; Kraus, 1865. The
Republican candidates and unopposed
Democrats received each about 81, 900

a Lutheran and his wife a Catholic, but
they never differed on matters of faith

went home this afternoon he told his wife
it was a question of the death OF one

his house and taking up a razor cut the
baby's throat, almost severing the head
